On Thursday, Ontario voters will head to the polls to cast a ballot to determine which party leader will be the province\u2019s next premier.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While the deadline to vote by mail has come and gone, voters will still be able to head to their local voting centre to cast a ballot until Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. or head to the polls on election day.<\/p>\n

Just six per cent of eligible voters in Ontario took advantage of advance voting in this year\u2019s general\u00a0election<\/a>, preliminary data shows, which means plenty of Ontarians are expected to head to the polls on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The website\u2019s search tool allows voters to search either via their electoral district or postal code so they know here to head on Election Day.<\/p>\n

The polls will be open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., and companies are required to allow employees time off, if needed, to cast their ballot.<\/p>\n

If your voter information card has not arrived, it may still be on route, according to an official from Elections Ontario.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working very closely with Canada Post to get the voter cards out,\u201d Elections Ontario spokesperson Greg Flood told Global News.<\/p>\n

He said there may have been some delays due to the recent snowstorms that have afflicted Ontario.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think some people have even acknowledged that there\u2019s been some questions about the weather posing challenges in that regard too,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo, we know that they\u2019re in the system and they\u2019re being shipped out to Ontarians across this province.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that you are not required to have a voter information card to cast your ballot.<\/p>\n
